I would think somewhere around 1200-1500.
I had similar damage to my car, and it was around that.
Granted, that was at the dealership, a local body shop could do that for less.
Or if you really wanna save some money, go find a fender, mount it, clean the bumper up. And then take it to see how much it would be to just get sprayed.

If you replace the fender, and do some of the prep work it would probably run $500. Unless you get really lucky and fender and bumper that match the color.

Is there a crease in the dent? If not, you might be able to push it out from the other side with your hand.
I did that once. I leaned on the fender on my Z28, and my knee pushed a spot in right around were your dent it. Only it didn't pop back out. I just moved the battery, gave it a little push, and it popped right out.

if this happened to me I would not spend more than 700 to fix.
I would figure the shop would need to:
remove/replace rt fender 125 used part($40 for some folks) + 4.3 hrs to install/paint
3 hrs to repair front bumper cover and 2.4 hrs to paint
1 hr to remove/install bumper cover
remove/replace side marker lamp $12.00 part + .2 hrs
paint/materials 150
= roughly $700.00 depending on labor rates and what repair times you negotiate with the repair shop
Hope this helps
9d1burd had a dealership shop write his estimate which would be higher than some of your mom and pop shops.

i would charge you about 200 to fix that, it takes about maybe 2 hours tops from begining to paint.
its only a fender adn a little peice on the nose that needs actual work, the rest of the nose and fender just gets sanded down and painted....

Thats it? Perhaps I should go to wherever you work and get an estimate. I have a dent in the same spot, one on each fender only much smaller, and no damage to the nose. I was quoted $300 each by another shop.
